I think it s C. It makes more sense.
Hello!
The answer to your question, "the idea that rocks form over a long period through the slow geologic processes is called ___", would be gradualism.
Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)
"Lapilli <span>are pyroclastic materials that are larger than ash but smaller than blocks or bombs.</span>"
Lapilli is pyroclastic material that has a dimention of 2 to 64 mm. Lapilli are of really low density what gives them the ability to be projected and taken far in a volcanic explosion. They start by being molten/semi-molten lava that solidifies as travelling through the air or reaching the water.
The bacterial form that is in a state of slow metabolism and that does not reproduce <span><span>is endospore.
It is a dormant state of bacteria when bacteria reduce itself. Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for a very long period. Endospores are extremely resistant (to ultraviolet radiation, desiccation, high temperature, freezing)</span> <span>can survive without nutrients. </span></span>
